In this activity, learners will measure their lung capacity by making their own spirometer. Learners will then explore factors that affect the amount of air the lungs can hold.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this activity, learners make acid/base indicator paper, place the indicator paper on an anthill, disturb a bunch of ants, and then observe what happens!

In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.
